The Bride of Thorns

A blood pact. A royal betrayal. A marriage forged in chains.



To save a crumbling kingdom, Aerin Velas, a disgraced noblewoman, is forced into a political marriage with the feared vampire lord Cassius Thalor, Duke of the Night Court. But Aerin is no pawn. With fire in her heart and vengeance in her blood, she intends to use this cursed bond to uncover the truth behind her family’s downfall.



Cassius, bound by ancient laws and a dying empire, sees the human bride as a necessary inconvenience—until her sharp wit and defiant gaze awaken something long buried in his immortal soul.



As court politics, blood feuds, and dark magic threaten both realms, Aerin and Cassius must navigate a deadly game of deception and desire—where one misplaced trust could mean the fall of kingdoms… or the end of everything.



In a world where blood is power and love is weakness, will they survive the oath that binds them—or be destroyed by it?
